About this short report

As you read your short report, or any other astrological report, keep in mind that the energies interpreted here are your birth potentials. However, you may or may not choose to actualize these energies in the manner described. Your age, sex, socio-economic situation, education, environment, level of development, and many other factors contribute to the ways in which you express your natal energies. Remember, the planets do not compel you to do or be anything. They influence you, but you still have the free will to determine your own life.

Neptune trine Neptune: Sowing time

End of April 2017 until mid-February 2019: This influence is a chance to examine your life and
to see within it the seeds for something greater than you have imagined. This greatness is
not in the material realm, nor will it give you power over others. Instead your opportunity
is to see your life in a spiritual dimension that you have never before perceived. This can
manifest itself in a number of ways.

First of all, you may discover an increased empathy for the people in your everyday life. You
can put yourself into another's place in a way that you have never been able to do before; you
can see and, more importantly, feel what someone else feels. Consequently you will have more
sympathy and compassion for other people's problems.

Your compassion springs from a realization of the essential unity of yourself and all being.
For most people, this is not an entirely conscious realization. You may feel an increased
involvement with others, but you don't quite know where it has come from. On the other hand,
this can be a conscious feeling, in which case you may become more attracted to mystical
philosophies and metaphysics, which try to verbalize what you are beginning to experience.
You may experience a reawakened interest in religion, even if this has long been dormant in
your life. Possibly you may even have a profound psychic or mystical experience.

Even if by temperament you are not inclined to mysticism, you will experience its effects as
increased idealism and an increased willingness to work for the kind of world you want to see.

Whatever else may happen, you will feel more capable of selfless actions in your relationships
with others. You will be willing to help, seeking little or nothing in return because your
own ego seems less important to you now.

From 8 December 2017 until 25 December 2017: This is a time of serious, heavy, even
pessimistic thinking. Communication with others becomes more significant, but also more
difficult. In fact this influence often means saying goodbye. You take life more seriously
than usual and look at things more seriously, but you run the risk of losing your sense of
perspective.

Your mental and intellectual viewpoint is narrowed by this influence. You are likely to
concern yourself with a smaller range of ideas, but you are more likely to think about them
thoroughly. You are beginning a major new cycle of ideas and opinions, of communicating in
new ways. This consumes your mental energy and limits your ability to range over a large
number of topics. Also you root out old ideas and notions that have outlived their usefulness
in your life. Your mind is very disciplined, but with this discipline and narrowing of focus
there is the danger of thinking too narrowly. You may overlook important alternatives because
of your tendency to concentrate single-mindedly at this time. Also, with your tendency toward
depressed thoughts you may overlook possibilities that seem too idealistic or risky; probably
they are not at all - it is just that you are thinking "small."

Nevertheless this is an excellent time for working a single idea through completely, planning
very carefully and realizing ideas that can have important consequences many years from now.

When dealing with yourself and others, be careful that you do not become too concerned with an
unattainable perfection. One effect of the this influence can be to make you too exacting and
critical, with the result that you alienate others.

Jupiter conjunction Venus: Elegance and taste

Beginning of December 2017 until mid-August 2018: This influence helps to smooth over all
difficulties in your relationships, as well as to promote friendship and give you a strong
desire for happy and peaceful times. You enjoy being with and talking with friends and will
probably attend or hold several social gatherings during this time. You may also be the
center of attention for some reason, and you will enjoy basking in the limelight.

This influence occasionally will bring a new love interest into your life. If it does, and
other factors are equal, the relationship should prove to be an unusually successful one in
which you both grow a great deal and in which there is an excellent balance between love and
freedom. Such a relationship will be devoid of jealousy or pettiness to an unusual extent.

The same energy affects existing relationships, so that you are able to relate to loved ones
with great ease. Because you are concerned with the larger issues in your relationship, you
are not about to cause trouble over any problem that is not extremely important. And such a
problem is not likely to surface during this time.

At this time also your taste is likely to become more elegant, and you may be tempted to buy
something that is very expensive or fancy. At the worst it might even be gaudy or tasteless.
In fact one of the few real dangers to watch out for under this influence is the tendency to
waste or squander money or other resources. Depending upon your own state of mind, however,
this influence can also bring in money and increase your resources. Whichever way it goes, it
should be well under your control.

You have a strong desire to surround yourself with beauty. Sordid or ugly surroundings are
much harder than usual for you to bear, so make an effort to avoid them. You are concerned
with the beautiful side of life at this time, and you should do everything to expose yourself
to it.

Jupiter conjunction Neptune: A sense of compassion

Mid-December 2017 until mid-August 2018: During this time your ideals will be aroused as they
seldom are at other times, and you will approach life with a greater sense of compassion.
People who cannot help themselves will win your sympathy especially, whether you encounter
them personally or through working with others in a charitable enterprise. Your primary
concern is to help individuals by giving them a hand. You may be less concerned with
transforming the social order that has given rise to the conditions that oppress the people
you are dealing with.

Your interest in spiritual, religious and mystical philosophy is likely to grow at this time,
and you may become involved in a group that is studying these subjects. This world no longer
seems to meet your needs adequately, so you have to turn inward to find a world that can give
you what you really need. Here, too, you will discover that the ego's drives for
self-gratification and self-assertion may be the major factors in preventing you from getting
what you want out of life. At this time the demands of the ego must be quieted at least a
little, so you can hear what the inner self is really saying.

Unfortunately there is another side to this influence, which you should watch for. Some
people develop a feeling of false happiness, like living in the dream world of an opium
smoker, with no basis in reality. You may feel that everything is all right when it is not,
or you may feel that you can do anything you want and get away with it. That is why this
influence is often associated with gambling or taking risks with limited resources, often with
disastrous results. This is not a very good time for investments, not because you will
necessarily lose out, but because you just won't know for sure, and you will be tempted to
gamble even when it is a poor risk. For the same reason, in business deals be sure you are
not the victim of a massive misrepresentation.

With this influence it is best to avoid purely selfish concerns, for when your actions are
thus motivated you are most likely to encounter its negative side.

End of January 2018 until mid-November 2018: This is a time of stability and creative balance
between the old and the new in your life. You are able to live within a structure and also
engage in new and stimulating experiences, which keep you from becoming stale. Any changes
you have made or any structures that have been changed in the last several years can become a
permanent part of your life now. These changes are no longer challenges, but interesting
aspects of your life.

You have a feeling of patience about what is happening. You can see the need for change, but
you do not feel like rushing out and overthrowing everything. You can make the change in an
orderly manner. You can present ideas to others in a very careful, logical way that still
manages to impress them with the originality of your thinking. Your employers and superiors
will especially appreciate your disciplined approach to new and original ideas.

Any task that requires long and disciplined application - learning a new skill, studying a new
body of knowledge or simply working patiently at a long task - is favored by this influence,
as long as it is leading up to some kind of creative change. Tedious tasks that leave no room
for new experiences will not be so useful to you at this time. You should be working for
change, even if slowly and patiently.

In fact you must not allow yourself to fall into a rut. Even change can become routine, if
you go around in circles with the same changes. That is not the proper function of this
influence.

Saturn opposition Moon: An emotional trial

End of January 2018 until end of November 2018: This is one of the most emotionally trying
influences. It is frequently associated with domestic or professional problems, emotional
depression, loneliness, difficulties with women or difficulties with personal relationships,
often leading to breakups.

This influence represents an "alienation crisis," that is, a crisis brought about by the
discovery that you have been neglecting your emotional and psychological needs. As a result
you feel alone and disconnected from others, like an alien in the world whom no one else can
ever adequately understand.

To a greater or lesser extent, everyone's life revolves around an overall task or purpose that
makes one's life unique. The purpose may be a job, motherhood, fatherhood, some movement that
you believe in or anything else that gives you a sense of purpose. Often an alienation crisis
occurs when you discover that you have gone too far too fast in pursuit of your life purpose
and have neglected your psychological and emotional needs. Perhaps you have neglected your
relationships or your domestic life, or you have repressed your feelings. In this way you
build up a wall between yourself and others, which makes you feel alone and alienated.

You must make your personal life and your profession or other central purpose work together.
That will require changing your lifestyle so that you can pay equal attention to both.
